5-2 Service Manual
TICO Manufacturing
TRANSMISSION PRO-SPOTTER
INTRODUCTION
Standard TICO tractors are equipped with an Allison
Transmission® fully automatic transmission. These
heavy-duty transmissions are designed for stop and go
operation.
NOTE
An Allison Transmission® operator’s manual is provided
with every TICO tractor. This manual provides important
information on operation of the Allison Transmissions®.
For additional service and maintenance information, see
the Allison Transmission® operator’s manual.
CHECK FLUID LEVEL
Transmission Fluid
Periodic transmission fluid level checks help prevent
mechanical failure of a vehicle or transmission
component. Periodic checks also help detect the
following conditions:
• Cooler failures
• Fluid contamination
• Fluid leaks
• Fluid overfill
• Fluid underfill
• Incorrect fluid used at last servicing
Transmission fluid level checks may be completed
manually by checking the dipstick (1) or electronically via
the transmission gear selector.
Transmission fluid level is dependent upon fluid operating
temperatures due to thermal expansion. Procedures vary
depending upon transmission fluid temperature.
Manual Check—Cold
See Figures 5-1 and 5-2.
The cold check band (2) on the dipstick (1) verifies that
the transmission has adequate fluid for start-up and
operation until it can be checked at the operating (hot)
temperature. Fluid levels for continued operation should
not be adjusted based on a cold check alone. A cold
check is the most accurate with fluid temperatures of
16°—49°C (61°—120°F).
1. Park the tractor on a level surface and shift to neutral
(N).
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling, shift to drive (D) and then to
reverse (R) remove air from hydraulic circuits.
4. Shift to neutral (N).
5. Allow the engine to idle for approximately 1 minute.

6. Clean any dirt or debris from the end of the fill tube
before removing the dipstick (1).
7. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
NOTE
Manual transmission fluid level checks should be
performed with the dipstick in the unscrewed or loose
position.
8. Insert the dipstick into the fill tube. Push down until
the dipstick stops while still in an unscrewed or loose
position.
Figure 5-2: Manual Cold Check
9. Remove the dipstick and observe the fluid level. If the
transmission fluid is within the cold check band (2),
the fluid level is satisfactory.
10. If necessary, add or remove transmission fluid until
the transmission fluid level is within the cold check
band.
